Chapter 349: Sixth Battalion (Part 1)

The envoys had an army of three thousand guards. In order to reassure Valde, Salin sent the Sixth Battalion to follow him. Finally, he had reason to let his army go in and out of Qinin, so Salin would certainly not miss this opportunity.

But Salin didn't expect that his sixth battalion would really come in handy.

The mobilization of large legions is beyond the eyes of the magician. The troops dispatched from the Side Star City were divided into two groups, with the first group of more than 10,000 people. The troops of this 10,000 people attacked the envoys from the flanks and scattered very wide on the plains. However, there were magicians in the envoys, and ten miles away, the envoys' army had already begun to be alert.

Phoenix's cavalry was not well equipped. After the Black Magician Rebellion, some powerful mages were disappointed with the Phoenix's nobles, so they simply left Phoenix and went to Qin Yin. Then Qin Yin invaded and another group of magicians ran away. Now Phoenix's army is completely reaping its capital.

Magic cavalry actually blesses magic when charging, and does not have their own skills in equipment. There is a lack of great magicians, and the cavalry is blessed with low-level wind speed techniques. Although this low-level magic lasts for a long time, it also requires high physical strength for war horses and soldiers, so the cavalry must accelerate within one mile.

The envoys' advance was not fast, there were many vehicles, and the Phoenix's main road was not timely repaired, some sections were narrow, and the team was pulled long.

Therefore, even if you are prepared, the envoys cannot immediately set up a favorable formation to counterattack.

The Sixth Battalion carried hundreds of large chariots. In just two minutes, these large chariots were arranged into two lines of defense. The infantry dismounted their horses, took out heavy crossbows, hid behind the large chariots, and formed a weak defensive formation.

Among the three thousand troops of the envoys, one thousand six hundred were purely the Royal Swordsman camp army, and only followed the two magicians. These thousand six hundred were real cavalry, and the armor was worth a thousand gold. After Tiffany issued the alarm, the thousand six hundred people quickly left the main road and converted into a triangular formation.

Among the 1,400 men who protected Barde were four hundred infantrymen. These four hundred infantrymen got off their horses and hid behind the big chariots, but took out heavy shields from the chariots and stood on both wings, so as not to be surrounded by enemy cavalry and attacked with bows and arrows.

There are two flag regiments in the Sixth Battalion, which are cavalry. It is not easy for Salin to collect thousands of war horses. These two thousand cavalry are the most elite mobile troops under Salin. Their reaction is to take out all the metal masks, put them on their faces, then bend over, and install small cavalry crossbows in front of the stirrups.

The range of the cavalry crossbow is not close and the accuracy is very poor. Generally, within ten meters, you can aim according to the experience of the cavalry. However, this thing is three consecutive shots and does not require both hands to operate. After the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion installed the cavalry crossbow, they took out three steel pipes from behind, twisted them together, and combined them to form a cross gun.

The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion retreated more than 200 meters, which was their equipment ancient and could increase the speed to the highest within 200 meters.

More than 10,000 people quickly changed their formations, without the intention of defending themselves tightly, and the cavalry was ready to go, and they were not even in a hurry to start. The only thing that was a little panicked was Viscount Piac, a permanent envoy assigned by Salin to the Holy Rock City.

Of course, Viscount didn't think it was a good job to go to Shengyan City, but he didn't expect that he would be in trouble with beheading before he even entered Qin Yin.

"How is this good? How is this good!" Viscount Piac murmured to himself, but a senior swordsman around him pulled the reins over the reins and arranged him behind the second row of carts.

Piac was straight on the war horse. If he didn't look at his somewhat lost eyes, his demeanor was pretty good.

"Vissue, if you really can't do it, just run away." The senior swordsman beside him said sarcastically. This senior swordsman is a newcomer to Salin. After the magician's review, he entered the sixth battalion. Seeing Piak's appearance, he was very disdainful.

"Fart!" Viscount Piac suddenly broke out. He drew out his long sword, waved it hard, and said, "Who do you think I am? If I escape, the whole world will laugh at me!"

"Master Yi? Viscount, you are quite brave. So, please go to the back and let your personal soldiers change you into a suitably armor."

The senior swordsman no longer sarcastically, waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to drag the viscount away. He returned to his position and commanded a flag regiment's infantry.

Pijac is not brave enough. His son is in the hands of Salin, and his future is also in the hands of Salin. If he escapes, even if Salin doesn't kill him, his status will plummet in the future. No one will think of being a noble, and his property will be confiscated. Instead of doing that, it's better to die.

Piac was very excited and calmed down after being dragged away by his personal soldiers.

Surviving is the first priority. Salin asked ten thousand people to protect the envoys. Not far ahead is Mars City again, so he should be quite safe. Moreover, he is not a person without ability. At least he has not been abandoned. He has put on his armor and took on weapons. He is no less weak than ordinary soldiers.

By the way, I can shoot arrows, and the accurate head within fifty meters is OK.

The Phoenix Cavalry slowly increased its speed from five hundred meters away, and its riding skills were quite superb. The commander of the cavalry found that the targets were arranged in a formation and immediately divided the cavalry into two arrows and attacked on both sides.

But how could Salin's army allow the enemy to attack calmly? The alchemy crossbow added to the chariot began to fire when the enemy was close to 500 meters.

It is not difficult to shoot the strongest alchemy crossbow one mile away, and it even has a correct head. The alchemy crossbow installed on the cart is much smaller in size and is not controlled by a magician, so it only emphasizes the word "ruthless".

A crossbow arrow that is more than one meter long, with a ×-shaped metal thorn on the arrow, whistling out. Although there are several meters of gaps in the middle of the cavalry's charge, the range of the alchemy crossbow is far more than five hundred meters, and blind cats can hit dead rats.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows violently penetrated war horses, cavalry, war horse cavalry...

The penetration power is amazing. Every target shot is taken away by the ×-shaped metal thorn on the arrow. This round of attacks caused heavy losses to the two thousand cavalry who were trying to attack.

The killing caused by these more than 300 alchemy crossbows reached 400, and both men and horses were abolished. The first round of cavalry charges was only 2,000, which directly reduced the number of personnel to 20%, which made the Phoenix cavalry's morale shaken. However, there were tens of thousands of troops behind him, and the vanguard cavalry could not retreat at this time.

The cavalry rushing in front avoided the sharp edge of the alchemy crossbow and circled around the sides. In fact, without a magician, the alchemy crossbow could only be fired once. However, rushing forward further would be within the range of the heavy crossbow. The lethality of the heavy crossbow is not as terrifying as the alchemy crossbow, but it is enough to penetrate the heavy armor of the cavalry.

The heavy armored cavalry can withstand the longbow and the arrows thrown, which cannot withstand the heavy crossbow with a range of 200 meters. The vanguard cavalry is divided into two wings, and on the side of the chariot formation, they see shields up to two meters high. However, the foot-pedal crossbows that the cavalry have prepared must be fired out. A fierce sound of breaking through the air sounded, and more than a thousand crossbow arrows were shot towards the infantry of the Sixth Battalion.

The outer layer of the infantry shield of the Sixth Battalion was covered with metal, and the inner layer was a thousand-year-old ancient wood. On one side of the soldier was covered with animal skins. The cavalry's foot crossbow shot on it, and the pure metal arrows broke through the first layer of metal, but were blocked by the wood inside.

The two layers of different materials of the shield form a strange physical structure, and the powerful penetration of the crossbow arrows is blocked.

Although it was not a magic shield, it was also designed by a magician. The infantry in the Sixth Battalion, whose fear was originally a little calmer, suddenly became much more stable.

The Phoenix Cavalry were a little scared. Their crossbows were shooting at a distance of less than 100 meters, but they did not penetrate the enemy's shield!

Qin Yin's standard foot crossbow must be able to reach the level of armor-breaking at a distance of 100 meters. Because on the battlefield, there is only one round of shooting opportunities. These foot crossbows are also the most elite equipment of the Phoenix Cavalry.

The infantry of the Sixth Battalion did not have good equipment on the flanks. The rear row was wearing a small shield and only opened the hard crossbow with his hands. If this hard crossbow wanted to break the heavy armor of the Phoenix cavalry, it would have to enter at least fifty meters before it could be hoped. The alchemy crossbow on the installed cart could not be lifted by the soldiers with both hands, let alone aiming and shooting.

The large chariot assigned to the Sixth Battalion by Salin was specially used for combat. It blocked the enemy's charge head-on, and the retreating cavalry finally began to launch an attack.

Two thousand cavalry suddenly accelerated from stillness. The first row of twenty cavalry were all double armored, skeleton war horses, and the weapons in their hands were disposable cavalry. This was designed by Salin imitating Yun Liu's Warcraft Swordsman. The cavalry must be discarded after one impact. The powerful impact force of the skeleton war horse cannot be supported by soldiers. The end of the weapon is connected to the skeleton war horse with iron rings.

The cavalry from both sides collided violently, making a rumbling sound that only the catapult could have.

The first row of Metatterin cavalry, twenty cavalry lances were shattered, but they also directly tear a hole in the Phoenix team. The power of the skeleton war horses was several times stronger than that of ordinary horses.

The rifle broke, and the Metatlin cavalry calmly pulled out the heavy scimitar and cut it horizontally. The enemy passing by was broken into two pieces under the scimitar.

The second group of cavalry attacks of Phoenix came at this time. On the front cart, the alchemy crossbow was being unloaded and replaced with a large heavy crossbow. The soldiers of the Sixth Battalion also experienced the Metatlin defense battle and fought with the soldiers of the Holy See. They began to be nervous because they were not familiar with the soldiers of Phoenix.

As a result, in the first round of counterattack, the soldiers of Phoenix were not as brave as those of the Holy See soldiers. The injured Phoenix would not continue to get up and charge. The sharp contrast greatly increased the confidence of the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion.

They were not inferior to the elite, but when they were first formed, they encountered the enemy they encountered was the Vatican Expeditionary Force. The fanatical believers and their fighting styles were no similar to those of normal people. Although Metatratlin finally won, the soldiers also had some shadows in their hearts towards the Vatican believers.
